Does anyone know what the difference would be between M.S.N. & J. D. and M.H.A. & J.D

I am a nursing student with about one year left for my B.S.N. I originally wanted to become a CRNA but I have found a couple of other degrees that also interest me. Does anyone know what the difference would be between M.S.N. & J. D. and M.H.A. & J.D.? With these degrees you could practicing against law against malpractice lawsuits. Would you able to run a hospital or hospital system with these degrees? Any info would be great, thank you,

    The MSN, JD has a Master's Degree in Nursing and a Law Degree.

    The MHA, JD has a Master's Degree in Health Administration and a Law Degree.

    The Health Administration degree prepares people for administrative positions in the health care industry, but does not focus on nursing. The Nursing degree gives an advanced education in nursing -- which might include Nursing Administration or not, depending on what track the person takes in grad school. The MSN would focus on leadership in the field of nursing, not general hospital leadership.

    The Law degree would teach you to be a lawyer, not a health care administrator.

    My organization employs several Nurse/JDs in Risk Management. Their dual expertise makes them extremely effective - they provide a lot of support for nurses.
